In this interactive and animated object, learners apply the Law of Sines to determine forces using a TI-86 calculator.

In this learning activity you'll practice converting between degree minute second and decimal degree.

In this animated object, learners examine the hysteresis function of a sensor.

In this animated and interactive object, learners examine the interaction between a conductor that represents a motor armature and a magnetic field that represents a motor’s main field. This interaction causes the shaft to turn.

Learners study the method of using more than one track and quadrature modes to improve the resolution of an optical encoder. A brief quiz completes the activity.

In this animated object, learners examine the two types of optical encoders used in automation applications: incremental and absolute. A brief quiz completes the activity.

Learners examine the internal components of an optical encoder used in automated manufacturing applications. A brief quiz completes the animated activity.

Learners observe how an optical pyrometer is used to take temperature measurements without making physical contact with the object being measured.

This animated lesson shows how a photoelectric sensor, connected to a ladder circuit, causes the cylinder of a hydraulic circuit to extend and retract.
